Disneyland Day 1- Princess Day

I love this face.

I've been dying to take my kids to Disneyland.  Two Fish had never been and the girls are at a great age.  I hadn't been to Disneyland since I was a kid except for a quick afternoon trip with Lovely L when I was 19.   We don't have any kids in real school yet and could go midweek in the off season. When I found an insane deal online for four nights hotel and three day park hopper tickets, I told Two Fish that we had to go.  So we were off to Disneyland.

We made it to Disneyland today.  The girls wore princess dresses and everyone called them princess.  We even sprayed glitter spray in their hair.  We got pins that said 1st time visit so the cast made a big effort to talk to the girls and called them princess.  January is a great time to visit Disneyland.  There is no heat and no huge crowds. I'm not a fan of crowds or heat. We rode on everything in Fantasy land, Tomorrow land and Toon Town.  As expected, Red Fish loved the roller-coasters.  New Fish loved the Buzz Lightyear ride and went on it six times.  They both also loved the carousel and Snow White.

Dumbo- a classic

 

Alice and the Mad Hatter

 We got four tickets to a princess character dinner as part of the vacation package that we bought.  It was at Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure.  New Fish was in heaven.  Red Fish liked meeting all of the princesses as well. The food was actually great.  The chefs are incredibly helpful for anyone eating gluten free. Red Fish was the only little girl dressed as Cindereall and New Fish was the only girl dressed as Belle so they got special attention when those princesses came to our table.  Prepare for picture overload because the girls insisted that all of the character pictures must be put on the blog.  After the princess dinner we went to Cars Land and rode everything.
